Ok, I worked up THIS pattern just now and it looks pretty close to the butterfly in her pattern. Just do it with baby yarn and I used a size G hook. Instead of the covered wire, I used a dark contrasting colored yarn, wrapping it around the body several times. I didn't do antenna but doggone if it doesn't look adorable!

 

That with the simple granny squares and after searching, the joining method appears to be "Fishnet Stitch". I don't have a clue about the border. That's a stitch I'm not sure I've seen before, but edgings are easy to find with a simple search to find either one like it or one you like better.

 

Good luck getting the pattern!

I e-mailed her about the pattern. She says its her own design she designed it for her daughter. Your right about the shipping. Why would you pay for e-mail? I think she would sell more if she did it as a buy it now item, as long as the price wasn't too high.

Hmm, to my eyes it looks like a very simple pattern. Looks like simple granny squares chain stitched together and I'm sure with a little trial and error the butterflies could be made without too much trouble. I love the pattern, but I cannot personally see spending that kind of money on one pattern!

 

P.S. I don't like her charges either. Why should I pay any shipping whatsoever if she's e-mailing me the pattern? Her description says if using e-mail for delivery reduce the shipping by 75 cents. Since shipping is $1.50, what's the other 75 cents for? Just wondering... I love the pattern, but wow, the extra little charges some ebayers tack on are not neccessary!

I found a pattern that looks to have the same blocks here ( the color is different but it looks like the butterfly block is used)

The butterflies on this one are separate and I bet you could use it to make something similar if you wanted...

 

Or even find some butterflies from Crochet Pattern Central and use those.

 

or All-in-One Butterfly Granny Square here. This one looks pretty nice.

This pattern is the original work of the seller. It's not in any book.

did anyone find out what book this pattern is in? I see she has it listed again & its up to $12.50 thats just the pattern not the book

I like that, too! It's beautiful!

 

I sent a question to the eBay seller asking about it.

I found this link online with several copies of the book for sale (if it's the right one):

http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=155261&matches=4&author=Needlecraft+Shop+LLC&browse=1&cm_re=works*listing*title

 

Amazon.com also has it for sale from their independent sellers.

 

If I get a response from the eBay person saying that's the correct pattern, I'll post back so everybody will know.

 

That's a great pattern! Thanks for pointing it out!

There is a listing in this book on ebay. Not sure if it is the same one since there is no pic. I have the book and I can check it when I get home from work.(hopefully I will remember!)
